[Help] Group comment not posting

[tf2forever]

I'm trying to post a comment on my group (https://steamcommunity.com/groups/testingwall) but it's not working for some weird reason.
 

const content = "hello world";
const gid = config.clanid;
community.postGroupComment(gid, content);

This is the "clanid" in my config:

{
    [..]
    "clanid": "103582791470169702"
}

This is the error I'm getting when I run the program
 

[..]\Bot\node_modules\steamcommunity\components\groups.js:611
                "uri": "https://steamcommunity.com/comment/Clan/post/" + gid.getSteamID64() + "/-1/",
                                                                             ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getSteamID64' of undefined
    at SteamCommunity.postGroupComment ([..]\Bot\node_modules\←[4msteamcommunity←[24m\components\groups.js:611:64)

Please help me!

All I can figure is that you aren't referencing your config properly, and config.clanid is ending up as undefined.

Should the "clanid" be a string or a number?

[Dr. McKay]

It should be a string.

[tf2forever]

I only get the error when the "clanid" is a number, probably because it doesn't pass the if statement which turns it into a steamID object.

When "clanid" is a string, I don't get an error but it doesn't comment.

 

Edit:

config.clanid doesn't turn up as undefined.

Make it more clear

[Dr. McKay]

Sounds like you need to pass a callback and check if Steam is returning an error.

[tf2forever]

I get null as the callback, but I don't think I'm doing it correctly.

 

community.postGroupComment(gid, content, callback => {
    console.log(callback)
});

I'm suspecting that somewhere in your code, clanid gets manipulated like parsing it as an integer.

Know that:

parseInt(103582791470169702) != 103582791470169702

parseInt("103582791470169702") != "103582791470169702"

parseInt(103582791470169702) == parseInt(103582791470169702)

I think I know why my comment isn't posting.

Thanks for trying to help me, but the problem was actually to do with the account.

 

But can one of you please show me how to do a callback so I know how to do one in the future?

ok ok i don't think this issue has been resolved. i tried using the function with my main account, which is level 30 and isn't restricted, and it still doesn't work.

this is my code:
 

const SteamUser = require("steam-user");
const SteamTotp = require("steam-totp");
const SteamCommunity = require('steamcommunity');

let content = "hello world";
const gid = "103582791470169702";

const client = new SteamUser();
const community = new SteamCommunity();

const logOnOptions = {
  accountName: "",
  password: "",
  twoFactorCode: SteamTotp.generateAuthCode("")
}

client.logOn(logOnOptions);

client.on("loggedOn", () => {
  console.log("[-] Logged On");

  community.postGroupComment(String(gid), content, (callback) => {
     console.log(callback)
  });
});

i get null as when printing the callback, which makes me think i'm doing something wrong. also, i ran this script multiple times and it has never worked.

[Dr. McKay]

I don't see you ever calling setCookies on your community instance. And if you are, you have to call postGroupComment after that, not before.

[tf2forever]

Updated my code, but it's still not working.

 

const SteamUser = require("steam-user");
const SteamTotp = require("steam-totp");
const SteamCommunity = require('steamcommunity');

let content = "hello world";
const gid ="103582791470169702"

const client = new SteamUser();
const community = new SteamCommunity();

const logOnOptions = {
  accountName: "",
  password: "",
  twoFactorCode: SteamTotp.generateAuthCode("")
}

client.logOn(logOnOptions);

client.on("loggedOn", () => {
  console.log("[-] Logged On");
});

client.on("webSession", (sessionid, cookies) => {
  manager.setCookies(cookies);

  community.setCookies(cookies);
  community.startConfirmationChecker(20000, config.identitySecret);
    community.postGroupComment(gid, content, (callback) => {
 	console.log(callback)
  });
});
